If you are using something like loadlin, then you have to copy the new
kernel to your Windows partition.

If you go with a SCSI CD-RW, then it depends on the SCSI card you
install. If you go with an IDE CD-RW, then you will not need an alias
for the SCSI card, but you have to add a statment for IDE-SCSI in your
lilo.conf or loadlin setup. I like SCSI CD-RWs better, but they do cost
more.
